Greetings! Your latest quick tech update is here:
☀️ On this day: On May 30, 1996, AT&T and Intel announced a system that let ordinary PCs make video phone calls over standard telephone lines, made possible by new video compression from Compression Labs. The setup was clumsy by modern standards: you placed or answered a normal voice call first, then switched to your computer to add jerky video on the same line. Intel pitched it as the first low-cost PC video phone, a rough ancestor of the one-tap FaceTime and Zoom calls now taken for granted, 30 years on.

Hand-picked news:
⚖️ CNN sues Perplexity for copyright infringement ↗️LINK
CNN sued Perplexity on Thursday for "massive copyright infringement," accusing the AI search company of scraping its site and copying over 17,000 pieces of content, including verbatim reproductions of paywalled articles.
CNN joins a crowded field. The New York Times, Chicago Tribune, Reddit, Merriam-Webster, Encyclopedia Britannica, and Nikkei have all sued Perplexity, whose comms chief counters that you can't copyright facts.
The suit claims the two sides negotiated a content deal last year that collapsed, after which Perplexity kept using CNN's name anyway. Hard to claim facts-are-free when you once offered to pay for them.
📱 TikTok wants to be your everything app ↗️LINK
TikTok keeps stacking features far beyond video, recently launching TikTok GO for hotel and attraction bookings in the U.S. and applying for a Brazilian fintech license to offer payments and lending.
These moves follow the playbook of TikTok Shop, which hit $15.82 billion in U.S. sales in 2025 and now holds 18.2% of American social commerce, pushing TikTok deeper into Google, Amazon, and Maps territory.
The model copies China's WeChat, which bundles chat, payments, and shopping into one app. Whether that one-app-for-everything approach travels outside China stays an open question, but TikTok clearly wants to find out.
🖥️ NVIDIA teases mysterious PC reveal ↗️LINK
NVIDIA posted a cryptic teaser on X reading "A new era of PC," alongside coordinates pointing straight to Taipei, home of Computex, instantly setting off speculation about a major announcement.
NVIDIA deliberately avoided "gaming," "workstation," or even "AI PC," choosing only the word "PC." That platform has long belonged to Microsoft, Intel, AMD, and Qualcomm, while NVIDIA mostly supplied the graphics inside.
AI PCs still feel like a solution chasing a problem, since most people aren't begging for a battery-draining laptop chatbot. NVIDIA jumping in could legitimize the category overnight or expose how overhyped it is.
👓 Meta plans AI pendant and smarter glasses ↗️LINK
A leaked internal memo from wearables VP Alex Himel lays out three pillars: a new AI pendant, an expanded smart glasses lineup, and an enterprise "Wearables for Work" offering targeting corporate buyers.
The devices will run on Meta's latest model, Muse Spark, plus an unreleased AI agent called "Hatch." Meta plans to start internal testing of the camera-equipped pendant by spring 2027.
New "supersensing" glasses keep cameras running for hours so the assistant tracks your whole day. Handy for finding lost keys, though a camera watching everything you do raises obvious questions.
🚀 SpaceX lands $6.45B right before its IPO ↗️LINK
The U.S. Space Force awarded SpaceX two contracts worth $6.45 billion combined: $4.16 billion to build satellites for Trump's "Golden Dome" defense system and $2.29 billion for a low Earth orbit communications network.
The timing matters, since SpaceX heads toward what could be the largest IPO ever next month. Its filing last week disclosed that government agencies generated one-fifth of the company's 2025 revenue.
Musk spent roughly $300 million helping elect Trump and stays close to him. SpaceX also warns investors that government work shifts with changing policies, priorities, and funding levels, a risk it now leans on heavily.
